homophobia-fear of me

this isn’t an obscure phobia. in fact it’s probably one of the most common
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! Their laughter rang in my ears long after it had died out. I had been walking back to my seat with my lunch when one of them came up to me. “FAGGOT!” They shouted and pushed my lunch tray up into my face tipping it all down my front. Unfortunately for me, it was lasagna that day for lunch. It ended up dripping from my shirt. I searched helplessly for a teacher, but they were busy scolding someone who’d been running in the halls. My eyes brimmed with tears but i pushed them away, i couldn’t let them see me cry. I went to turn to get to the bathroom to wash off my clothes, the kids around me squealed and rushed to get out of my way. “EWW, DON ’T LET IT TOUCH ME ! EWW LOOK THERE IT GOES !” They’d scream, scrambling to get away from me. The ones who lived to make my life hell. The ones who wouldn’t socialize with me for a fear i couldn’t understand. The ones who made me the butt of every joke. There the were, the homophobes.
